Although zinc fingers usually function by binding to DNA or RNA, the LIM motif probably mediates protein-protein interactions.
LIM kinase-1 and LIM kinase-2 belong to a small subfamily with a unique combination of 2 N-terminal LIM motifs and a C-terminal protein kinase domain.
The protein encoded by LIMK2 is phosphorylated and activated by ROCK, a downstream effector of Rho, and the encoded protein, in turn, phosphorylates cofilin, inhibiting its actin-depolymerizing activity.
It is thought that this pathway contributes to Rho-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
At least three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
